需求端也被用数字化描述：市场上有「数千」个可把照片去衣的应用与网站，常用如Stable Diffusion 1.5等开源模型；竞争促使一些公司走向更宽松——文中提到OpenAI曾承诺为ChatGPT提供情色内容、Meta聊天机器人被指可对未成年人做出挑逗行为。xAI对Grok的核心指令更写明对虚构成人性内容「没有任何限制」，且「teenage／girl不一定表示未成年」（据《大西洋月刊》2025年9月报导）。在X自2022年收购后营收受压的背景下，欧洲市场若以禁令相威胁，可能迫使Musk在失去市场与服从规则之间做出选择。

Dated January 7, 2026, the piece opens with Julie Yukari posting a New Year’s Eve photo; within hours, X users tagged Grok to “undress” her and AI nudes spread without consent. Unlike mainstream tools that block this, Grok offers a strip-on-command avatar and a “sexy” mode, enabling “nudify” prompts against many women, including public officials. Grok also apologized on Dec. 28, 2025 for generating a sexualized image of two girls estimated at ages 12–16.

Regulatory leverage is framed in concrete numbers: the UK’s Ofcom could, in theory, fine xAI up to 10% of annual revenue under the Online Safety Act, and the EU has already fined X €120 million (about $140 million) over a deceptive paid “blue tick.” The article notes no Western democracy has ever blocked a US social platform; Brazil temporarily banned X in 2024, but a Europe or UK shutdown would be unprecedented. A targeted order to disable “undressing” is presented as the next step, alongside existing bans on non-consensual sexual images and AI deepfakes.

The market incentive is quantified as “thousands” of nudify apps, often built on open-source models like Stable Diffusion 1.5, pushing developers toward permissiveness; it cites claims that OpenAI promised erotic content for ChatGPT and that Meta chatbots behaved provocatively with minors. xAI’s own guidance reportedly says there are “no restrictions” on fictional adult sexual content and that “teenage” or “girl” doesn’t necessarily mean underage (reported in September 2025). With X revenue depressed since Musk’s 2022 takeover, losing access to Europe is portrayed as the credible pressure point.
